My 20's were an almost complete waste due to depression and obsessive compulsive.

I don't want to be mean in saying this, but it seems to me there a COMPLETE lack of understanding on some people's part. Some want to push their natural cures, which BTW didn't really do shit for me, and just act like they care. Others just don't like the profession or the drug industry, so they're more then willing to hang me out to dry.

As far as this story, anyone prescibed a med could overdose on that med. Are we going to go into everyone's home that has a prescription and make sure they're using it right.

There is overprescribing, but there are also people going into the doctors after seeing these commercials on TV and demanding the pills because they think it will make them happy.

Mine don't make me happy, they get me to the point I can BE happy. It's up to to me to make myself happy.
